What Is a “Platform” and Why Do I Really Need One? Instructor: Wendy J Fox Emerging writers are often told that they need a platform, but between social media, personal websites, media properties, and other digital channels, it can be hard to cut through the noise. In this seminar, we’ll demystify the platform concept, and look at examples to get started.

Nuts and Bolts: Money in Publishing Julie Buntin (Catapult Books), Wendy J. Fox (moderator) Sarah Fuentes (Fletcher & Co.), Serene Hakim (Pande Literary), Danya Kukafka (Aevitas) There are a lot of steps between a successful submission and the ticker tape book tour. Hear from experts in publishing on the ins and outs of book contracts, advances, royalties, and more, so when your speculative epic gets picked up by Penguin, you’ll know what to expect.
